Just as James Washington showed up on NFL.com’s “breakout” list, Gil Brandt is predicted a big season ahead for Pittsburgh Steelers’ safety Terrell Edmunds. Edmunds showed up on a list of nine defensive backs poised for a breakout year. Regarding the Steelers’ sophomore safety, Brandt writes:
“Edmunds was projected by most people to be a second-round pick, but the Steelers jumped up and snagged the safety — and he proceeded to play 1,189 snaps (including special teams), which was more than any other rookie in 2018, while proving he warranted the use of that first-round choice.
